PALM BEACH, Florida, January 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

MarketNewsUpdates.com News Commentary 

The international cannabis industry continues to blaze red hot as deregulation and increased consumer interest are poised to drive the market past $30 billion by 2021, according to a report from the Brightfield group. With the market near $7.7 billion towards the end of 2017, this would be a compound annual growth rate of 60% each year. Plenty of Canadian cannabis companies are striking international deals, exporting their products to markets in Europe and South America. Canada is leading the way but markets are starting to open in Europe, Latin America and beyond. And they are growing even faster than the U.S. Active Cannabis companies today include: MYM Nutraceuticals Inc. (CSE: MYM) (OTC: MYMMF), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (OTC: ACBFF) (TSX: ACB), Freedom Leaf Inc. (OTC: FRLF), ABcann Global Corporation (OTC: ABCCF) (TSX-V: ABCN), Emerald Health Therapeutics Inc. (OTC: EMHTF) (TSX-V: EMH).

In response to recent news out of the United States Department of Justice regarding federal cannabis laws in the United States, MYM Nutraceuticals Inc. (OTCQB: MYMMF) (CSE: MYM.CN) wishes to reinforce its commitment to growing and conducting business only in jurisdictions where that conduct is federally legal and otherwise in full compliance with all applicable laws in place. MYM does not currently have any operations in the United States and will not engage in that country unless significant changes to the federal laws regarding cannabis are made. This stance is to protect the company and its shareholders.

MYM Nutraceuticals is an international company, with operations in Australia, Canada, and most recently seeking operations in Colombia. We are pleased with our progress on each of our global operations and the prospects they bring.  Read this entire Company update and more news for MYM Nutraceuticals at: http://www.marketnewsupdates.com/news/mymmf.html

Because our operations hold significant potential, and are in favorable business jurisdictions, MYM is privileged to have options when it comes to financing our current and future projects and operations. We are currently exploring all options that bring the least amount of dilution to our shareholders.

As an unintended benefit of not conducting operations in the United States, MYM has been presented with multiple options from financiers looking for safe havens for their investments. However, we continue to build business relationships throughout the United States in anticipation of any changes that lead to the opening of the country for business. Should those changes be made, MYM is ready and prepared to initiate legal operations in the USA. Article continues at: http://www.marketnewsupdates.com/news/mymmf.html
